Description
Ace will turn 4 later this summer. He was bred by Bridget but comes from international dogs. His mother was imported as an embryo by Brendan McAllister ́s Spot, and his father was an Irish dog, Ben, that Bridget got her first taste of success with. Ace likes to handle things his own way but always with the intent of helping Bridget. He tends to want to get things done in a very timely manner, which is often too fast for both the sheep and his human’s brain.
Bridget lives on a family ranch in Carbondale, Colorado. She got involved in sheepdog trialing by volunteering to help at the Meeker Classic. That apparently led to Bridget and her family to hosting the USBCHA National Finals for four years at the Strang Ranch – a major effort and terrific event. While seemingly immersed in sheepdogs and sheepdog trials, Bridget is a horse trainer by trade and teaching others to ride and compete. She has been on the farm and around horses her whole life, eventing at the advanced level for several years and showing cutting horses at the Western States Championship. When asked about her achievements in sheepdog trials, Bridget says she is still working on that, but includes her invite to Soldier Hollow on the list. 🙂
